I was so tempted to respond in HAXOR, it wasn't funny...

Changing the subject line was pretty tough

It was a pretty good test, had to have wife use remote access on her dual boot system (W2K access via VPN only) to access the global email addresses to determine tha "Andre" had a sneaky "2" after his last name for his work email. I don't have remote access, my job doesn't require it.

i'M @n L337 h@ck3r, u 700L5, y0u'R3 lucky I d0n'7 53nD U @ vIrU5, 0R l00K uP y0ur p3r50N@L iNf0 & cRiMiNaL hI570Ry & 3m@iL i7 70 y0uR b05$ @N0NyM0U5Ly...

I did send my response from home, don't think anyone else managed that...

Wish Me Luck

I'm really hoping to get it, better hours, less BS...

I'm not sure I understand the point of the e-mail being a test.

Sadly, where I work, computer skills are viewed as somehow magical...

My potential boss has a "tricky" email address with a number after his name, I've been told he feels he's got elite computer skills....

Outlook requires skills?

Outlook is missing some key features like a REAL raw view.

LOL, they need to play a game of counter-strike.

Oh god I would hate to work for people that tried to test me on my ability to change the subject line of an email.

How the hell would they know if you sent it with outlook anyway? What if you don't own a copy of outlook? Who gives a crap if you can use outlook if you're applying to be a radiologist?

Frightning, isn't it?

I'm applying to be a nurse that works with special procedures, assists with data gathering, compilation, saves patients that crash while they're in the imaging equipment (codes them etc...) Unfortunately, most of my co-workers are pretty lame... I rarely help them with software anymore (I really don't have the patience for it), just when a PC freezes up or gets unplugged...

I really don't type in H4X0R, but it's somehow appropriate in this setting

(Kaci, if you're reading this thread, don't let the cat out of the bag, I haven't told anyone in the ER I've applied for a job in Radiology... Your Dell should be in on Monday)
